Just in case you didn't see the other comments, they do allow for "one-time" application-specific passwords. I'm still not entirely certain how that secures your account, but then again, I haven't tried it yet.
I would rather not read the "Idle" section in my main news feed from this site. Any chance you all might consider making a different main feed which doesn't include the Idle articles?
So, we've been doing pretty well working with both at the same time for years. You mean to say the rest of the world can't keep up?;) There are so very few times I wish I had mod points. This would be one.
It's not an exemption, per se. It's a "delay" so that state licensing agencies aren't overwhelmed with people getting new IDs. It's close to the end of the article...
Still, why the age? My guess it has something to do with the population being heavily skewed toward the 50+ people because of the "Baby Boomer" generation.
FYI, those 1200 people are what is termed as a "representative sample." Pollsters have determined that these 1200 people (fitting a varied set of demographic principles) are representative of the entire US population. This sample (while negligible in number as compared to the population of the US) is a good cross section of the opinions of "normal" Americans.
Funny enough, I actually remember this from that Statistics course I had in college. Go figure since I slept through most of it. Wikipedia, of course, has a pretty good section on sampling.
He's got a point. Although I'm sure most of the people here don't want to admit it, the way that this story got posted on Slashdot has a certain anti-Microsoft slant to it (as most things here do).
I'm not saying that they typically don't deserve it, but this time it's *A* (meaning: "one") patch, which is a patch that most users of Windows Update got a month ago. No need to raise the red flag here.
Yes, it's interesting (and extremely frightening) that a patch went out over Windows Update without MS's knowledge. However, with their track record on security, this shouldn't surprise anyone.
As do most stories here, the article needs to be retitled.
That one's cool, and there's another one (a bit more expensive) that I've seen. KDS USA's CD Organizer. Buy.com has it for about $90. It's got a tower form factor, but it only holds 75 CDs. The one Judg3 recommended seems to be a bit more cost effective.
I've got 3 different devices with SD/MMC support: my Palm m505, Compaq iPAQ PA-2 MP3 player, and a Minolta DiMAGE X camera.
The DRM capabilities are for companies who are providing data preinstalled on the card, and not for how you wish to use them -- as flash (although you could turn it on if you so chose, how? I'm not sure). For instance, Palm sells SD cards with preinstalled software (Atlases, games, etc.). You can't copy them off the card and install them in your Palm without some other intervention.
MMC is a bit more pervasive, so if I was thinking about investing in the media, I'd buy MMC. Most devices don't support the full transfer speed of SD, SD cards are physically thicker than MMC cards, so SD cards don't work in as many devices (i.e. my SD card I got with my camera won't work in my PA-2 because it's too thick). And heck, MMC cards are typically $20 to $40 cheaper too (if you've found them cheaper, pass it along!).
Not that I am an expert on H1 visas, but I believe that a company needs to spend a bunch of money and go through a governmental approval process (long) to hire anyone that is in the US on an H1? I apologize for my ignorance, but I believe I'm correct, so don't blame your current unemployment on 9/11. And aside from the above, remember that the economy was in the toilet before then too...
... I get a mousepad, coffee mug, t-shirt, and a golf shirt. Let's see, on the open market, I could buy these for a total of maybe $40 and then add the $25 max contrib for "Friend" status and total $65.
I tested this on 3 stock RH 7.3 boxes as well as a RH 7.2 box running 2.4.17 kernel. All still work. Make sure you go into/etc/ssh/sshd_config to uncomment the "UsePrivilegeSeparation yes" line.
They're a company based out of Louisville, KY. I have a friend who works there. The software's pretty good from what I understand -- however, my view could be a bit biased. Call (800)542-0594 and talk to someone there.
Nope. I worked for a company a year ago that did foam packaging for Boeing projects (I didn't care enough to look at the CAD drawings). We had to purchase an 8mm tape drive (we had DLT) in order to submit/receive our CAD drawings. They refused to let us use anything else.

Their AUP is so openended in this manner that it can be construed to say that he is violating the AUP anyway. Oh well, such is big business...
I may be wrong since I haven't had @Home for a while but isn't there a line in their TOS that says that you can't run servers -- including or specifically business servers on @Home's residential cable modem service. I assume that the @Work (or whatever they call it) would not have this same upload limitation.
I would check your TOS again. They can't be held liable for "handicapping [your] ability to run a business" if you are breaking their TOS.
I guess it's easier to roll it out in a smaller big city. Insight Communications is our provider, and the service is pretty good. I've already watched a couple of movies on it. And yes, you CAN get p0rn on it as well.;-)
I have to agree with everyone who has said "yes" to this question. I graduated from the University of Kentucky with a degree in Telecommunications (was a CS major, but couldn't take the math). Unfortunately, it wasn't a technical program, and was focused around broadcasting (TV and radio) with a few small data/voice networking classes. No hands on. I now hold a job as a Network Engineer with a small telecommunications company. Mine is a decently technical position (I am in charge of the ATM backbone as well as a converged voice/data platform as well).
The only reason I hold this position is because of the "well-rounded" education that I formally received from UK as well as the miscellaneous studying (reading Slashdot and other publications and looking up the concepts listed), playing around with the computers I have, and breaking and fixing things that I was working on.
Do I wish I would have had a more specialized education? Sure. I would love to have UK offer classes on Cisco routers and the Lucent CBX 500 switches I work on every day. However, I feel I am much better off, as I will be able to eventually get myself a management position (and make a little bit more money).
Suggestion to all those who are reading this thread: Do the specialized studying in the extra time you have. Don't rely on your college classes to give you the information you need. You'll waste your time.
Did S@H ever fix the problem with the fact they were going to run out of blocks and forced people to redo blocks that were already done? If not, why would anyone want to buy this card? Seems a little silly to me. That is, unless someone could find another purpose for this card. d.net

Just wanted to come in here to point out that lethal injections also come with a drug to knock you out before the cocktail that kills you is injected.
Yes, there are documented cases where the person is still conscious, but those are rare.
According to this: http://news.slashdot.org/faq/accounts.shtml#ac1300 you can get an achievement just by posting here. Let's see if it works.
I think you missed one:
.. or just not care.
I think you underestimate the apathy of the general public.

But then again, to each his own, right?

I have one, and it works great. Small screen though, so it might not be what you are looking for...

This is meant with good intentions:
Actually, according to @Home it is a violation:
From @Home's AUP or here:
"@Home residential customers may not resell, share, or otherwise distribute the Services or any portion thereof to any third party without the written consent of @Home. For example, you cannot provide Internet access to others through a dial up connection, host shell accounts over the Internet, provide email or news service, or send a news feed. You may not use the @Home residential service for commercial purposes. The @Home residential service offering is a consumer product designed for your personal use of the Internet.
